Four Weddings gives you a chance to learn the best British slang and compare the two accents with this heartwarming movie. Not sure whether you want a British or American accent? Four Weddings and a Funeral gives you the best of both! In a classic film set over the course of four weddings (and a funeral, obviously) Hugh Grant plays an awkward British wedding guest who falls for Andie Mcdowell, a beautiful American woman. The film begins with a long conversation between the two characters over a lengthy car journey, providing you with plenty of dialogue to practise your listening skills. Although the 1989 storyline might be a little dated (old-fashioned) now, the film is full of catchphrases (well known phrases) that have become iconic in modern American culture. When Harry Met Sally is a classic American rom-com that tells the story of two friends and their growing relationship. Just be aware that a lot of the magic vocabulary varies from country to country so it may be worth checking out this awesome Harry Potter vocab list. With the first two films made for young audiences, the dialogue is slow and easy to understand. You’re probably already familiar with the story of Harry Potter, so if you’re new to watching films in English then Harry Potter is a great place to start. The whole film is narrated by Forrest, who speaks with a ‘Southern Drawl’ (accent from the South of the United States) that is slow, easy to understand and perfect for English beginners.
Starring the incredible Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump tells the tale of a man with low IQ who has lived an extraordinary life. From immersing yourself in 19th Century Britain to experiencing life in suburban California, movies give you a chance to live the language as it’s spoken in real life. Not only will watching movies get you familiar with different accents, you’ll also get an incredible insight into English-speaking culture from around the world. When it comes to learning English, the more time you spend exposed to the language the better.
